Official Charts Flashback 2009: Lady Gaga – Just Dance 17 January 2014 Official Charts Flashback 2009: Lady Gaga – Just Dance It’s five years since Lady Gaga had her very first UK hit – and chart-topper – with Just Dance. Google + Can it really be five years since Lady Gaga had her very first UK hit – and chart-topper – with Just Dance? Yes, it can! New Year can be a trial for many of us. As the hangovers fade, the celebratory balloons deflate and the last of the Christmas tree pine needles is finally vacuumed out of the carpet, the realisation hits you: it’s January. Boring. Detoxing. Breaking resolutions. Rain. Nothing good ever happens in January. Until… One popstar who was certainly having none of this “let’s give up everything exciting for January” business was Lady Gaga. While she had been bubbling under the pop scene for months, much loved by bloggers and music journos monitoring her success over in the States, January 2009 was when it all started to happen for Lady Gaga – and it all began with her debut single Just Dance.

Watch the video for Just Dance before we tell the story of Lady Gaga’s first ever hit on the Official Singles Chart. Rocketing straight into Number 1, Just Dance was declaring the joys – and dramas – of getting blitzed at a party long before Miley Cyrus even thought of strapping a giant teddy bear to her back and eating a skull made of French fries. It was the perfect introduction to a popstar who was going to keep us all gripped right until the end of the year – and beyond. It would have taken a sensational twist of bad luck for Just Dance not to be a hit – radio loved it, and Gaga also enlisted the help of Akon to lend a well-known name to the mix. She even invited her mate Colby O’Donis along too. The video for Just Dance may not have the avant-garde stylings of some of her future work, but the signs that Lady Gaga was not quite like everybody else were already there. Just Dance was the first of 11 Top 10 singles for Mother Monster, and is her third best selling single, shifting over 940,000 copies.

Gaga would, of course, go on to have another three Number 1 singles: Poker Face, Bad Romance and, with Beyoncé, Telephone – all pretty much within a year of each other. Whether we realised it or not, things were never going to be the same again. 2009 was Gaga’s year and we were just lucky enough to live in it. But the Top 5 wasn’t all about Gaga. Climbing three places to Number 2, but destined never to go any further, was James Morrison and Nelly Furtado with Broken Strings. Former Number 1 Hallelujah, the X Factor winner’s single – and million-seller – from Alexandra Burke slid to Number 3, and another X Factor graduate Leona Lewis sat in fourth place with her cover of Snow Patrol’s Run. Rounding off the Top 5 was another future million-seller: Kings Of Leon with Use Somebody. We recently counted down Lady Gaga’s top 10 best selling singles.

Sophie ‏@cosmiquelover Hi Sophie, In honor of Lady Gaga's 28th birthday on Friday, here's a present for all the Little Monsters: her top-selling albums (in the U.S.) and downloads (both according to Nielsen SoundScan) and her top-performing Billboard Hot 100 hits. And, even though her birthday was two days ago, Gaga herself is still celebrating: she's performing a series of seven shows at New York's Roseland Ballroom through April 7 leading up to the famed venue's closing, ahead of her forthcoming full-scale ArtRave: The Artpop Ball Tour. Check Billboard's review of the first show on Friday here . "Thank you so much for all my beautiful birthday wishes. I feel like luckiest girl in the world this birthday.," she Tweeted last night.

Here is a look at the U.S. sales of each of Gaga's albums (chronologically): 4,572,000 "The Fame" (2008) 1,585,000, "The Fame Monster" (EP) (2010) 308,000, "The Remix" (2010) 2,326,000, "Born This Way" (2011) 60,000, "Born This Way: The Remix" (2011) 42,000, "A Very Gaga Holiday" (EP) (2011) 679,000, "ARTPOP" (2013) Meanwhile, these are her top-selling digital tracks (recapping her 12 songs that have sold at least 1 million each): 7,092,000, "Poker Face" (the seventh-best-selling download all time) 6,891,000, "Just Dance" (feat.

Colby O'Donis) 5,485,000, "Bad Romance" 2,232,000, "You and I" 1,112,000, "Do What U Want" (feat. R. Kelly) And, here are Lady Gaga's biggest Hot 100 hits, dating to her debut the week of Aug. 16, 2008, when "Just Dance" entered at No. 76 before becoming her first of three No. 1s (and 13 top 10s): Rank, Title (Peak, Year) 10, "Alejandro" (No. 5, 2010) 9, "LoveGame" (No. 5, 2009) 8, "Telephone" (feat. Beyonce) (No. 3, 2010) 7, "Paparazzi" (No. 6, 2009) 6, "The Edge of Glory" (No. 3, 2011) 5, "Applause" (No.

4, 2013) 4, "Born This Way" (No. 1, six weeks, 2011) 3, "Bad Romance" (No. 2, seven weeks, 2009-10) 2, "Poker Face" (No. 1, one week, 2009) 1, "Just Dance" (feat. Colby O'Donis) (No. 1, one week, 2009) This ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. The ranking is based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 having the greatest value and weeks at lower ranks proportionately less. Due to various changes in chart rules and methodology through the years, songs have had reigns at No. 1 and on the chart of varying average lengths. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from all years, certain time frames were weighted to account for the differences in song turnover rates.

Hi Gary, I noticed that Soko's "We Might Be Dead by Tomorrow" has dropped completely off the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting at No. 9 last week. Do you still believe that the Hot 100 accurately measures popularity? If that song had debuted at No. 1 last week, wouldn't that pose a serious problem for the chart's credibility? Garrett Godbey Tampa, Florida @gthot20 Gary, is Soko out of the hot 100 altogether? if so, is it the first time a song drops from a top 10 position out of the hot 100? Sebastian Driemer ‏@echtersebo Hi Garrett and Sebastian, Last week, Soko's track blasted onto the Hot 100 at No. 9 thanks to its huge viral week. It also debuted at No.

1 on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart with 11.5 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen BDS. Here's what the charts department's streaming charts manager William Gruger wrote: Of the song's streaming sum (in the week ending March 16), 99 percent are from YouTube, the majority of which stem from users who viewed the viral video "First Kiss," which hit the Internet on March 10. Shot entirely in black-and-white, the 3-minute, 28-second "Kiss" clip captures 20 strangers sharing an intimate moment for the first time, along with their ensuing bashful, yet heartwarming, reactions. Throughout, Soko's song accompanies the potential romance, its subtly-stated melody and instrumentation adding to the ambience necessary to set the video's intended intimate mood. That was last week. This week (for the tracking period ending March 23), the song plummeted 1-42 on Streaming Songs, down by 86 percent to 1.6 million streams. When "Dead" debuted on the Hot 100, 96 percent of its chart points were from streaming.

The ratio is a comparable 93 percent this week (with the song having sold 10,000 and 3,000 downloads in the Nielsen SoundScan weeks ending March 16 and 23, respectively). First, the chart stat: Billboard research shows that "Dead" is the first song to fall off the Hot 100 from inside the top 10. Previously, three songs had departed from as high as No. 11: Taylor Swift's "Mean" debuted at No. 11 on Nov, 6, 2010, as a preview track from her album "Speak Now" (selling 163,000 that week). It did, however, return as a proper single in April 2011, rising to No. 31 thanks to its run at country radio. Two other tracks spent a single frame on the Hot 100, each at No. 11 and both by boy bands: Jonas Brothers' "A Little Bit Longer" (2008) and One Direction's "Diana" (2013).

Those songs, like Swift's, also debuted a week before each group bowed with new albums on the Billboard 200. Do such debuts compromise the Hot 100's integrity or accuracy? Can a song really go from nowhere to No. 9 to off the chart in a span of three weeks? (This week, "Dead" ranks just below the chart, within striking distance of No. 100.) I think that, A) Yes, such odd chart lives do reflect the chart's accuracy and, B) they, ultimately, reflect the current era of music consumption. We're in an era of more immediate reactions to all things commercial, as Facebook and Twitter both reflect and engender. And, prior to those platforms, iTunes came along, helping to make music purchasing decisions more impulsive, since instead of going out to a record store, we needed only to press a button on our laptops (or, maybe desktops in the earlier 2000s). As the Swift, Jonas Brothers and One Direction debuts also show, preview tracks have become common, so songs have gone from zero to more than 150,000 sold and then regressed over three weeks based on how they've been marketed.

When the Hot 100 shows such yo-yoing, it's reflecting a new type of sales arc that never existed in a physical music world; 45s, cassette singles or CD singles (not worked to radio) just didn't appear on store shelves for a week only leading up to album, tape or CD releases. Until 2012, the Hot 100 also didn't include streaming, while YouTube plays didn't begin factoring in until last year, when they clearly began to Harlem-shake things up drastically (led by Baauer's No. 1 debut and five-week reign). When a song draws 11.5 million streams in a week, it seems clear that the Hot 100, which for 55 years has aimed to rank the most popular songs in the U.S. each week, should factor in that consumption. Plus, the lives of viral videos can be volatile. The Soko track caught fire for a week before viewers/listeners seemed to move on to the next thing that drew their attention in their Facebook feeds.

When a song isn't selling much and has no notable radio airplay, it'll live – and die (Hot 100-wise) – based on the whims of the web. We've also recently seen a key Hot 100 record set, as the cast of Fox's "Glee" has blasted to 207 chart entries since 2009. Of those 207, 173, or 84 percent, have spent a single week on the survey. A whopping 95 percent (196) has spent one or two weeks each on the chart. The cast's longest-charting hit, "Don't Stop Believin'," charted for seven weeks. So, there's another example of how recent times have brought about songs that enjoy noteworthy popularity for about a week before receding. Of course, that makes sense for a show that releases around five tracks a week with each new episode. A track like the "Glee" cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic" came and went in a week (No. 16; Oct.

16, 2010), but in that week, it sold 109,000 downloads, placing at No. 9 on Digital Songs. Like Soko ranking at No. 1 for a week on Streaming Songs, a song can place in the top 10 of Digital Songs for a week and then disappear from the Hot 100. Radio and traditional sales now share music consumers' options with streaming and quick-hit digital tracks, and the Hot 100 is reflecting that reality. At the same time, streaming is helping big hits stay on the Hot 100 for record runs. The two longest-charting hits all time have set their marks this year: Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" (82 weeks and counting) and AWOLNATION's "Sail" (79). The former has ranked in the Streaming Songs chart's top 25 continuously since the list's inception on Jan. 26, 2013 – 63 weeks running. "Sail" has done the same since the week of Feb. 16, 2013. Thus, more than three years after "Sail" debuted on the Alternative Songs chart, it's the No.

21 title on Streaming Songs this week with 2.5 million U.S. streams. Hits that connect at radio, sell and draw streams can, therefore, live longer chart lives than were likely possible prior to streaming, a chart version of the rich getting richer (i.e., the biggest hits across all platforms remaining on the chart longer than those not making such across-the-board-connections). So, while Soko can make the Hot 100 look schizophrenic week-to-week, such movement appears merely to mirror the modern behavior of how we discover music and how short, or long, we stay with songs, whether it's for a week or for unprecedented lengths. NEXT: In a word, it's a hit As always, submit your questions about Billboard charts, as well as general music musings, to askbb@billboard.com. Please include your first and last name, as well as your city, state and country, if outside the U.S. Or, Tweet questions to Gary Trust: @gthot20 YOUR FAVORITE ONE-WORD-TITLED HITS This past week, Chart Beat looked at the trend of one-word song titles continuing to take over the Billboard Hot 100 .

In the third week of March 1989, for instance, just nine titles with one word populated the chart. Twenty-five years later, thanks to smashes like "Royals," "Timber," "Happy," "Radioactive," "Pompeii" and so many more, more than 30 one-word titles infuse the Hot 100. Essentially, Hot 100-charted artists (the Chainsmokers, "#SELFIE") and writers (Bonnie McKee of Katy Perry's "Roar"), as well as rising acts (Liz Longley, Myla Smith) shared that in a social media-driven world, less can be more when it comes to making an impact. Going beyond the original story, will the next generation of artists will continue the movement toward song titles that pack a quicker punch? I reached out to Berklee College of Music admissions interviewer Fuat Abdullah, who's likewise noticed the inclination. "The shortcut language that social media prefers creates a different form of expression altogether," he says. "The new forms of communication, in turn, penetrate the way songwriters express themselves. "A significant portion of Berklee's prospective students still use traditional instruments to write," Abdullah observes.

"But, what they do after they write seems to have changed with the times: they share their work immediately and get immediate feedback. That immediacy changes even their song titles." For now, though, we have plenty of one-word titles, and we even ranked the top 50 biggest such Hot 100 hits here . More favorites?

Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie&lt;/p&gt; The Biggest Artist of 2009: Lady Gaga | EllenTV.com Music · November 25, 2009 The Biggest Artist of 2009: Lady Gaga You know I love Lady Gaga -- I dance to her music all the time. I even used her song "Just Dance" in my commencement speech at Tulane last year. She's one of the biggest new artists, and many people consider her the Madonna of this generation. She is so talented and such an amazing singer, and people have responded -- she's the first artist in the history of Billboard's Pop Songs to have four #1 songs from a debut album. That album, "The Fame," is also the biggest-selling debut album of this year. It didn't all come easy to her. The last time she was here she told me that when she first started playing in clubs, she faced a lot of rejection and was even booed off stage. It's hard to imagine anyone would have done that! Fortunately, with the support of her mother, she didn't stop performing. Eventually, Akon took notice and signed her to his label.

In April of 2008, she released the single "Just Dance." It moved up the charts and eventually became one of the biggest songs of 2008 -- and is the second best-selling digital song of all time. Following that, she released hit after hit, including "Poker Face," "Paparazzi," "LoveGame" and now "Bad Romance" from her new CD, "The Fame Monster." While here, she opened my show with her new song, "Bad Romance," and then gave a brilliant performance of "Speechless" -- another song from her album, inspired by her father. Take a look at Lady Gaga's performances. BBC News - Lady Gaga cancels concert after 'passing out' Lady Gaga cancels concert after 'passing out' Lady Gaga's Poker Face was the best-selling UK single of 2009 Singer Lady Gaga has apologised to fans after being forced to cancel a concert in Indiana due to ill health. "Can't apologise enough for how sorry I am," she said, via micro-blogging site Twitter, revealing she had collapsed due to exhaustion and dehydration.

"An hour before the show I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing," posted the 23-year-old, renowned for her flamboyant stage performances. She has since cancelled another three dates between 16-18 January. I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything Lady Gaga Last year Lady Gaga - real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - failed to appear as a support act at two Take That concerts in Manchester, citing ill health. The singer tweeted that she had been "crying for hours" as a result of Thursday's cancellation. "My stage has complicated mechanical elements," she said. "Everyone was concerned I'd be in danger during the 2hr show, since I had passed out earlier. "I have performed with the flu, a cold [and] strep throat," she went on. "I would never cancel a show just based on discomfort. "I hope you can forgive me. I love my little monsters more than anything, you are everything to me." Lady Gaga - who recently topped the UK singles chart with Bad Romance - had the best-selling UK single of 2009 with Poker Face. Her tour is due to hit the UK in Manchester on 18 February.

Google + Ever since her first hit in 2009, there's never been a dull moment with Lady Gaga around – every song and every image change is something of an event. Now, as Lady Gaga releases her long-awaited single Perfect Illusion, we look back at the smashes that came before it and reveal her top selling singles. Let's kick off with the Top 5 before we reveal the full 20: 5: Born This Way Don’t call it a comeback, but it kinda was. As Gaga prepared to release her second full album of new material in 2011, the world waited with bated breath. Could she live up to the hype of her early hits? After two massive tours – The Fame Ball and The Monster Ball – would Gaga still have the energy to pull off another dazzling album campaign? In short: yes.

The track sold 144,000 copies in its first two weeks on sale, and reached Number 3. Its total sales now stand at 712,600. 4: Telephone If you’re going to do a collaboration, this is probably the best way to do it. In 2010, Gaga teamed up with Queen B for a raucous girls’ night out in a ‘clerb’, sipping some ‘berb’ and definitely not answering their phones, thank you very much. The epic video was a sequel to Paparazzi, with Gaga being banged up for putting something nasty in her boyfriend’s tea. Luckily, Beyoncé was on hand to spring her out of jail, and the two went on a further rampage, causing no end of headaches for the environmental health department of their local council. It got to Number 1, selling 720,500 copies to date, and it's proven a hard act to follow: neither Gaga or Beyoncé have had a Number 1 single since.

Who knew as this debut single raced to Number 1 we were witnessing the start of something really big? Before the meat dress, arriving at awards ceremonies in an egg, and starring in horror shows, there was Just Dance – a slice of perfect pop and the ideal way to introduce the world to a true pop phenomenon, becoming the third biggest seller of 2009. Find out which two songs beat it to the top here . It's tantalisingly close to being a member of the million-sellers' club, with 957,400 sales under its (no doubt very high fashion) belt – will we see it tip over the big one soon? If it does, it'll be Gaga's third, because look who's up next… MORE: All Lady Gaga's UK hit singles and albums in her Official UK Chart archive 2: Bad Romance Lady Gaga’s first release from The Fame Monster was something of a slow-burner, but once it got going, it certainly made up for lost time. Bad Romance took seven weeks to reach the top of the Official Singles Chart, only to be knocked off by Rage Against The Machine. It returned two weeks later, not quite ready to give up on all the glory just yet.

From the cover art to the video and the defiant chant of 'Gaga ooh la la', everything about Bad Romance made a good case for iconic status. Bad Romance was Gaga's third Number 1 of 2009 and her first of 2010 – its sales tally stands at 1.034 million, passing the seven-figure milestone in September 2013. 1: Poker Face Ma-ma-ma-maaaaah. There can only be one winner, and it’s Gaga’s second single and Number 1 Poker Face that takes the crown as her best-selling song on the Official Singles Chart. It’s classic Gaga territory: hairpieces as far as the eye can see and the flamboyant popstar outwitting the guys in a hedonistic party setting. Chants, a catchy chorus, a talky middle-eight – it’s Gaga 101 and worthy of its million-selling status. Poker Face was the best-selling single of 2009, and passed the million sales mark in September 2010. It's currently lording it at the top of Lady Gaga's countdown with 1.17 million sales.

Gaga stated in an interview that "Poker Face" was written by her as a pop song and was a tribute to her "rock 'n' roll boyfriends." She also stated that the main idea behind the song was sex and gambling. In an interview with UK's Daily Star, Gaga noted of the song, "It's about a lot of different things. I gamble but I've also dated a lot of guys who are really into sex and booze and gambling, so I wanted to write a record my boyfriends would like too." In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, when asked about the meaning of the line "bluffin' with my muffin", Gaga explained that it really was a metaphor for her vulva.

"Obviously, it's my pussy's poker face! I took that line from another song I wrote but never released, called 'Blueberry Kisses.' It was about a girl singing to her boyfriend about how she wants him to go down on her, and I used the lyric. [Gaga sings] 'Blueberry kisses, the muffin man misses them kisses'." During her Fame Ball Tour performance at Palm Springs, California, on April 11, 2009, Gaga explained to the crowd the true meaning behind the term "Poker Face" used in the song. She suggested that the song dealt with her personal experience with bisexuality. The idea behind the song was to be with a man but fantasizing about a woman, hence the man in the song needs to read her "Poker Face" to understand what is going through her mind.
